In a new iteration by original series creators Amy Lippman and Christopher Keyser, this beloved story of a young family bound by adversity will be retold through the lens of current-day themes and cultural conversations. The series stars Brandon Larracuente as "Emilio Acosta," Emily Tosta as "Lucia Acosta," Niko Guardado as "Beto Acosta" and Elle Paris Legaspi as "Valentina Acosta." Bruno Bichir and Fernanda Urrejola star as the Acosta parents, Javier and Gloria.
The highly anticipated drama “Party of Five” will premiere with a two-hour, back-to-back episodes on WEDNESDAY, JAN. 8 (9:00-11:00 p.m.EST) on Freeform. The first episode of “Party of Five” will also be available for a special pre-linear sneak peek on Hulu, Freeform.com, the Freeform App, and on demand beginning Wednesday, Jan. 1.
In Episode 101, "Party of Five" follows the five Acosta children –Emilio, Lucia, Beto, Valentina and baby Rafa -- as they navigate daily life struggles to survive as a family unit after their parents are suddenly deported to Mexico.
In Episode 102 "Margin of Error," a fearful Valentina struggles to sleep at night after the recent loss of her parents. This takes a toll on Beto, who is left to comfort her. Val turns to religion in the hopes of getting her parents back and Lucia denounces that same religion, believing it is only doing harm to her younger sister. Meanwhile, Emilio tries to do right by his father by dismissing Oscar of certain duties, which only offends Oscar and leaves Emilio to run the restaurant on his own.
